Chapter 2294 Let Himself Get Caught
“I don’t care about her forgiveness. Killing you is more important to me!” Danrique countered mercilessly. “You—” Lincoln was rendered speechless. “It seems that you don’t even care if Mr. Lincoln lives or dies.”
“Why should I care if someone unrelated to me dies? I can’t believe you think I will compromise for his sake. What a joke!”
“You—” After being momentarily stumped, the president swiftly continued to provoke him, “Danrique, you are indeed cold-blooded!”
Danrique replied disdainfully, “Thank you for the compliment. Still, I am nothing compared to you in terms of being hard-hearted. Mr. Lincoln is just someone with no relation to me. On the other hand, you are even capable of disregarding your wife’s and daughter’s lives. You are the true epitome of ruthlessness.”
“Capturing them won’t do you any good since they don’t know a thing,” the president said indifferently.
Danrique seized that opportunity to make a suggestion. “Let me give you a chance. I’ll let go of your wife and daughter in exchange for Mr. Lincoln. This should be a very worthwhile deal for you.”
Danrique had spoken so much earlier for the sole reason of achieving that goal.
“It looks like you still care after all.” The president smiled. “Two people in exchange for one is indeed a good deal. However, I refuse!”
“You—”
“I understand now.” The president sounded smug. “You still care about Francesca. You’re willing to give up marrying my daughter to become the president’s son-in-law and collaborating with me through this arranged marriage because of her. In that case, you will continue to give up more things for her sake. You’re such a loyal young man. This is so touching. Consider my offer well. As long as you’re willing to reconcile, I’ll let go of Mr. Lincoln at once!”
With that, the president hung up the call. The corner of his lips curled into a wicked smile. At that moment, he understood Lincoln’s value as a trump card.
“Was the phone conversation earlier recorded?”
“Yes, Mr. President.”
“Trim out the few sentences Danrique said just now, and think of a way to send the modified recording to Francesca.”
